How to put one foot in front of the other

Sunday, July 21, 2013

…or how we press on in parenting, or in marriage, or at work, or in a season of difficult obedience…

Sometimes that’s the only way. That, and this:

But isn’t it really enough?

Today, no matter what, lets choose to rejoice in the fact that we don’t have to do life on our own. It isn’t by anything of our personal ability or strength or possession that we victoriously continue to put one foot in front of the other… It is by the Strength & Grace & Power & Might & Sustenance of Our God, Most High.

Lets worship Him today as we walk forward not by might, not by power, but by HIS Spirit.

Happy SON-day ~

Most favorite people in the world: James (my husband), Nathan (my son), Abigail (my daughter), Mary (my mom), Gilbert (my dad), and of course, my brother (Chris) and his family, my sister (Rebecca) and her family, and my Aunt Bibby - who, by the time I was three, taught me to drink from a china cup, eat shrimp cocktail, and how to shop with "lay away"! I love you all!
Favorite foods: Hazelnut coffee, milk chocolate, & cheesecake
Favorite relaxation activities: Reading a Christian historical fiction book in a long bubble bath, & a 2 hour nap on crisp, clean sheets... mmmmm!

Favorite Bible Verse... Today: Psalm 9:10 (Amplified) "And those who know Your name [who have experience and acquaintance with Your mercy] will lean on and confidently put their trust in You, for You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek (inquire of and for) You [on the authority of God's Word and the right of their necessity]".
